[English]

Limits unwanted, then time has gone by

And now I don't even know 'bout my whereabouts, however

I'm in a night so typical as I leave what's real Take off

I cannot move on So, I go towards a dream I had before

No helping it now, because it won't change anyhow

Whatever happens won't matter, no

If I get bored, I'll throw it away

No cheapo "love you" song, oh, I don't need that

Bored, I'm wishing that I can delete, I'm losing my mind

This clumsy love with you, to go through the night

So, you choose and decide, no doubt, and it is all alright

Although nothing is too much or even lacking

I don't even need it, but it is not enough

So let's forget about it

Both have overdone it, love in excess

See you, goodbye Friday night

The unimportant things I perceive

Forevermore, it's what I'm clinging to

So what about it, go ahead and start to pour

My glass needs brandy, now

The unimportant things are the ones

Forevermore so close and right by you

No helping it, now I'm feeling like a fool inside

Whatever happens, won't matter, no

If I get bored, I'll throw it away

A cheapo "love you" song, is it not enough?

Don't you wish for more now? Try to make me say it again

This clumsy love, oh, ain't it fit for tonight?

So, you choose and decide No doubt, and it is all alright

Although nothing is too much or even lacking

I don't even need it, but it is not enough

So let's forget about it

Both have overdone it, love in excess

See you, goodbye Friday night

The unimportant things I perceive

Forevermore, it's what I'm clinging to

So what about it, go ahead and start to pour

My glass needs brandy, now

The unimportant things are the ones

Forevermore so close and right by you

Forevermore so close and right by you

A crazy story, by now It's like a dream, we're inside

Things I wanted to say, I'm guessing I have said it all

Don't know what is true, and It got so blurred in my mind

Oh, that kinda story Oh, no fortune in that

So, then, if it's designed to get broken anyhow

Oh, let's forget about it

Both have overdone it, love in excess

See you, goodbye Friday night
